Germany begins controversial collective deportations to Afghanistan
[THELOCAL.DE] On Thursday morning a flight carrying 34 rejected asylum seekers arrived in the Afghan capital, Kabul...the capital of Afghanistan. Home to continuous fighting from 1992 to 1996 between the forces of would-be strongman and Pak ISI/Jamaat-e-Islami sock puppet Gulbuddin Hekmayar and the Northern Alliance, a period which won Hek the title Most Evil Man in the Worldand didn't do much for the reputations of the Northern Alliance guys either.... . They were the first people to leave Germany in a highly contested programme of "collective deportations" to the war-torn country. Awaiting the men were Afghan coppers and refugee ministries officials, as well as representatives of the International Organization for Migration (IOM). The mood was sombre among the deported men. Some were sad, others were angry. Babur Sedik said that he had spent four years in Germany and had never made it out of a refugee camp. The 22-year-old said he has no idea what to do next. He comes from Kabul province, which is still relatively stable. "But if the security situation doesn’t improve and I don’t find work, then I won’t have a choice - I’ll have to flee again. Or I’ll go to Pakistain or some other country." For Rahmat Khan, the possibilities are even slimmer. Also 22, he comes from Paktia province and he says that he can’t go back as the Taliban are everywhere there. He lived in Germany for five years, working as a waiter and learning the language. "In Germany I wanted to work towards a better future for my family," he says, adding that he has no idea where he will go now. The so-called Sammelabschiebungen (collective deportations) have resulted in protest due to the unstable security situation in Afghanistan. Trip back to Afghanistan was 'no free ride' for deportee Amiri [DeutscheWelle] An Afghan refugee deported from Germany spoke to DW after arriving in Kabul about his last moments in Germany. He said he was forced to pay for his deportation and was not allowed to contact his family before leaving. Posted by: Fred 2016-12-17 |
